"No, don't kill Xiao Xiaobao." Doudou said crying.
Mrs. Lian glanced at Doudou, a mocking smile on her face: "I heard that you came from a small place and your family used to live in the countryside, so you treat animals like treasures.
But to me, it's just an animal. I eat countless of them throughout the year! When we catch that animal later, should we braise it or stew it?
"Those two trees of yours are just two broken trees to a country boy like me. I don't know how many trees I will cut down for firewood throughout the year.
Just because you don't care doesn't mean others don't care. Doudou's eyes had grown cold at some point, and he stared at Mrs. Lian without blinking, making her scalp tingle.
I'm going to die. He's just a brat, but he actually makes her feel scared.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can my tree be compared with your beast?" Mrs. Lian said gritting her teeth.
If she could, she would have slapped Doudou twice right away.
Sharp-tongued.
"What's going on? Why is there such a noise so early in the morning?" Lian Yan was invited over by Lian's housekeeper. He looked around and everyone was shocked by his aura that made him intimidating without even getting angry.
Mrs. Lian walked towards Lian Yan with red eyes. She didn't believe that Lian Yan would still side with Doudou and the others this time: "Master, you don't know, this matter is very serious. You must handle it impartially and not show any partiality.
You know, I regard the two pine trees in the yard as my parents. I worship them as my parents, but Lian Jue said he wanted to chop them down and use them as firewood.
As she spoke, Mrs. Lian covered her face and burst into tears, her whole body trembling as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Okay, stop crying," Lian Yan's tone softened for a moment, "Lian Jue, what's going on?"
Doudou recounted what had happened.
"Master, he lied. When I arrived, I saw them running away in panic. It was not at all like what he said."
"We didn't run away in a panic. We were just worried that something happened to Xiao Xiaobao, so we wanted to find Xiao Xiaobao as soon as possible." Doudou said.
"Since both the husband and the wife have their reasons," Xie Yunjiao paused and looked at Lian Yan, "Dad, why don't we go back to the scene and see if we can find any evidence.
If Doudou and the others really did something wrong, I will personally take them to apologize to Aunt Qiao."
"Okay." Lian Yan said.
Mrs. Lian did not refuse, because she also wanted Lian Yan to see the miserable state of her two trees so that he could arouse some desire to protect her.
"Others go help find the piglets raised by Lian Jue and Lian Jin." Lian Yan said.
"I'll help find the pigs too," said Gu Huai.
Compared to Mrs. Lian’s two trees, he cared more about the piglets raised by Doudou.
"Well, look carefully and take some people outside to look for it." Xie Yunjiao said.
The two children were in a hurry to go out because they had searched everywhere in the house but couldn't find Xiao Xiaobao, so they suspected that Xiao Xiaobao had run away.
Gu Huai went out in a hurry.
Xie Yunjiao and her group were not idle either. They came to the yard where pine trees were planted.
When she saw that the roots of the two trees had been dug up and exposed, and some of the roots were broken, the whole yard looked a mess. Mrs. Lian couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she started crying again.
Lian Yan was a little upset by her crying: "Okay, just let the gardener replant it."
"Master, you must punish him severely!" said Mrs. Lian.
"Dad, look at this row of footprints." Xie Yunjiao pointed at the footprints on the ground, and Lian Yan also looked over.
"This isn't a pig's footprint," Xie Yunjiao said. "It looks more like a dog's footprint, but the dog seems to be quite large."
Lian Yan's face darkened. "Why is there a dog at home? Mother is most afraid of dogs."
Even the old lady couldn't remain calm when she heard about dogs. She had been bitten by a dog before and almost lost her life.
Later, she was rescued by Ye Baien, but the baby that was already formed in her belly died. Later, because her body was too weak, she was unable to have another child.
When she heard there was a dog at home, the old lady immediately said, "Whoever owns this dog, find it and kill it immediately."
A glimmer flashed in Mrs. Lian's eyes.
It turned out to be a dog's footprint. Doesn't that mean it has nothing to do with those two brats?
"Why is there a dog in the house? Could it be a mistake?" Nanny Jin couldn't help but mutter.
"No, I heard a dog barking a few days ago, and it seemed to come from the young lady's room." said the maid in the old lady's room.
"You slut, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know that your baseless talk is slander against the young lady and you deserve a slap in the face?"
The maid's expression suddenly changed and she dared not speak anymore.
"Since someone heard it, let's go and take a look. Anyway, everyone present is our family, and it won't have any impact on my aunt." Xie Yunjiao said.
"No, Yiyi caught a cold last night and is feeling dizzy. She is resting in the house. If you guys go in, it will disturb her rest," said Mrs. Lian.
"That's perfect. I know some medical skills and I can help my aunt. She'll get better faster if she takes some medicine," said Xie Yunjiao.
"Master, Yiyi has gone to bed." Mrs. Lian looked at Lian Yan.
Lian Yan glanced at her calmly and said, "It's okay. I won't disturb her for long. I'll have people look for her everywhere in the house anyway."
Lian Yan thought for a moment and said, "Madame Jin, take mother back and close the door. Don't let that beast that suddenly appeared scare her."
Nanny Jin nodded and hurriedly helped the pale-faced Mrs. Lian away.
They came to Lian Yiyi's room and knocked on the door.
Before everyone could react, they suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking in the house. It sounded very loud, as if it was a very ferocious dog, which scared everyone.
Mrs. Lian's expression suddenly changed. She muttered to herself, "How could there really be a dog?"
Lian Yiyi should know that the old lady is afraid of dogs.
But she openly kept a dog at home and everyone knew about it. What should she do now?
"master……"
Mrs. Lian had just opened her mouth when Lian Yan interrupted her: "You don't have to say more, everyone heard the barking of the dog inside.
I did as my mother said and killed that beast."
Lian Yan also doesn't like dogs. If there hadn't been a mad dog running around on the street and threatening to bite him, his mother would have gotten into trouble in order to protect him.
The mother was injured and the little sister in her belly was gone. This is a pain that the family will never forget!
"No, don't kill my dog, it's very well behaved."
Lian Yiyi opened the door and ran out in a hurry. At this moment, a big black dog rushed out of her room and pounced straight towards Lian Yan.
